My ideal client is anyone who wants to better their life and wants assistance in doing so. I work best with teens, young adults, individuals, couples and families that are feeling stuck in life. Together, we can have those tough conversations and work through the mess of relationships and how these are impacting you. I believe that at the heart of psychotherapy is a professional and meaningful relationship between a client or group of individuals and the therapist that can help accelerate changes and purpose within the client's life. I strive to be that therapist for my client's, understanding that this looks different for everyone.

Life is full of surprises and sometimes it is difficult to know how to handle these changes. I am dedicated to providing a professional, caring and respectful environment which encourages clients to collaborate in identifying areas of concern and individualizing goals. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques that are research-based and effective, clients learn ways to cope with those changes that were once viewed as troublesome.

Trauma, a difficult childhood, deep loss—they leave a mark. We’d all love to believe that what happened “back then” doesn’t have to affect us in the “here & now.” But it does. Painful experiences change how we feel about ourselves, relationships, and how we view the world. We want to move on but we're stuck. No matter how hard we try to push the pain back or down or away... it leaks back in and we find ourselves living in the same old pain with the same old problems: Stuck. Exhausted. Frustrated.

Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too much,” that you’re overly sensitive, or that you make mountains out of molehills. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or frustrated that you can’t seem to control them. Moving through daily life without a sense of emotional steadiness can feel exhausting and isolating. Do you find yourself easily triggered—by relationships, the state of the world, your family, or even your children? These are challenging times, and you’re not alone in feeling this way. The good news is: you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

When we struggle in life so many of us spend time blaming and shaming ourselves for “not doing better”. In society we've been taught to disconnect from our authentic selves and our bodies. Overtime this can cause us to feel lost, overwhelmed, and detached. As a neurodivergent-affirming therapist my focus is to help you reclaim those lost parts, integrate them, and regain self-trust through your own intuitive abilities. It may not feel like it now, but you are the wisest teacher in your life and I'm honored to assist you in believing so.

You've been holding everything together, but inside, it feels like you're running on empty. Maybe things aren't "bad," but they don't feel good either. Like you're surviving instead of truly living. You want support that feels human, grounding, and genuinely helpful, not clinical, cold, or focused on "fixing" you. You deserve a therapist who listens closely, sees you clearly, and walks alongside you with warmth and steadiness. If you're ready for therapy that feels supportive, collaborative, and truly tailored to you, I'd be honored to be part of your healing.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
